Kentucky Derby Party at The Bevvy

Grab your favorite derby hat and your nattiest attire for the Kentucky Derby at the Bevvy in Scottsdale. Get in on all the action with onsite off-track-betting, as well as watch (and hear) the race on the 30-plus flat-screen TVs. Derby-themed festivities include contests for "Best Hat," "Best Dressed" (male & female), and the Bevvy will be expanding their patios featuring extra seating and mobile bars and mixing up Kentucky Derby Cocktails for the day featuring Bulleit bourbon. Doors open at 10 am. For reservations, contact 602-777-1757
